Verizon Numbers Suggest Apple Might Have Sold More Than 50 Million iPhones Last Quarter

Based on Verizon’s iPhone activation numbers released yesterday, Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White estimates that Apple sold a whopping 56 million iPhones in the last quarter.

White arrived at this estimate by basing his calculations on Verizon’s contribution to net iPhone sales in the past six quarters, which has been 11 percent. He added that even if Verizon’s contribution to iPhone sales is higher than before, at 12 percent, Apple would still have sold 51 million iPhones in the three-month period ending in December.

AppleInsider cites estimates of several other analysts who expect sales of over 46 million iPhones.

In its most recent earnings release, Apple noted that it expected the holiday quarter to generate record sales of iOS devices and Macs, amounting to $52 billion in revenues. We’ll know if Apple lives up to, and exceeds its expectations tomorrow, when the company will be reporting its earnings for the fourth calendar quarter of 2012 tomorrow.
